Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell

Also present were - City Manager James L. Pennington, and

America was given.
4. Mr. Jackel moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of January 15, 1985, and the Special Meetings of December 20,
1984, December 31, 1984, January 8, 1985 and January 22, 1985, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
35. Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. Bird is ill tonight; however,
he has been informed that Mr. Bird would like to be present when Council
considers consulting services for the City's utility system which is
Item 35 on tonight's agenda. It was the consensus of Council to post-
pone this item and to consider it at a Special Meeting to be held at
4:30 P.M., Friday, February 1, 1985.
5.a.1. Mrs. Lillian Feldman, Pines of Delray, thanked City Council
and the City Manager for taking care of the reflectors on Homewood
Boulevard.
5.a.2. Mr. Marvin Eisenber~, Woodlake, stated that after spending
$12,000 to enhance the appearance of the entrance to Woodlake, they were
advised that they could only put one sign up. This would put them out
of balance with one blank wall and also present a traffic hazard to
people travelling north on Homewood Boulevard looking for Woodlake. He
is asking that Council consider amending the ordinance so that they can
have two signs at their entranceway, as the neighboring communities do.
It was the consensus of Council to direct the City Attorney
to draft an ordinance amendment to allow developments to have two signs
at their entranceways.
5.b.1. Mrs. Horenburger recommended a resolution be drafted sup-
porting the Southeast Florida Plan, which Dr. Helen Poppovich presented
to the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation recently. The Plan,
which is endorsed by the State Board of Regents, is an enhancement of
their university system.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that a resolution be drafted formally
supporting the Southeast Florida Plan, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
5.b.2. Mrs. Horenburger requested that the City Attorney's office
be directed to look into the matter of non-residents serving on City
Boards as she feels that certain Boards, such as Planning & Zoning,
should be comprised of City residents only. It was the consensus of
Council that the City Attorney look into that and report back to them.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger suggested that Mayor Campbell appoint a
blue ribbon committee of seven or nine members in order to encourage the
interrelation of the Planning & Zoning Board and the Community Appearance
Board. This committee would review the Land Use Plan, parking plans,
height, any and all issues they have been hearing recently. The com-
mittee could also recommend hiring consultants to aid in the work. She
would urge that the preponderance of appointees not be realtors, law-
yers, developers, architects and insurance people and be sure that they
are City residents.
Mayor Campbell noted that Council has requested the forma-
tion of a five member committee to study the height situation and asked
Mrs. Horenburger if her suggestion would be in lieu of or in addition to
that. She replied, in lieu of; there are more issues than just height
that need studying.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to authorize the appointment of such
a committee, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. (No roll call was taken due
to Council's consensus to take this to workshop).
Mr. Weatherspoon felt they do not need any more committees
and suggested they extend the scope of the five member committee which
Council has already agreed to form. Mr. Jackel felt that appointments
should not be left up to one person on Council and that an issue such as
this one requires a fuller discussion. He suggested taking it to
workshop.
It was the consenus of Council to put this item on the
workshop agenda.
5.b.4. Mrs. Horenburger asked the City Manager to provide Council
with a report comparing the resident golf course fees in Delray Beach
with those in Lake Worth, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton.
5.b.5. Mrs. Horenburger presented 3 checks: $500 from Bill Wallace
Ford, $1,000 from Laver's International Resort Development, and $2,000
from Ocean Properties Ltd. This kicks off the effort to raise funds for
the beautification of Linton Boulevard and the median strip. These
particular funds are earmarked for the medians between 1-95 and Dixie
Highway. She hopes other dealerships and businesses along Federal
Highway will support this effort as well. The checks can be made out to
the City of Delray Beach and earmarked for that particular area that the
donor is interested in seeing beautified.
5.b.6. Mayor Campbell reported that he has had calls regarding the
numerous break-ins in some areas of the City. He asked the City Manager
to get together with the Police Chief to see if something can be done to
help prevent burglaries and educate the public.
5.b.7. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation proclaiming the week
of February 1 - 7, 1985 as "Miami Dolphins Week". Chief Charles Kilgore
came forward to accept the proclamation.
5.c.1. The City Attorney reported that Resolution No. 13-85, Item
#33, has been distributed to Council this evening.
5.c.2. The City Attorney requested that they add to the agenda, as
Item #37, First Reading of Ordinance No. 19-85. It deals with minimum
door widths and is supplemental to Ordinance No. 14-85.
5.d.1. The City Manager reported on the proposed Police Building
regarding the communication system. They now have an estimate of
$772,324 if they go with the three channel conventional system. This is
well within the limits of the Bond Issue.
- 2 - 01/29/85
5.d.2. The City Manager reported that they have modified the list
with regard to the Community Development Funds in accordance with Coun-
cil discussion. They are tentatively setting a Public Hearing Date for
February 12th at which time Council will get further input. They can
make a final decision at the February 26th meeting.
6. Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the agenda with the
addition of Item #37 and the postponement of Item ~35 to Friday at 4:30
P.M., seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor

Mayor Campbell suggested designating this building as the
"Public Safety Building" as opposed to "Police facility". Mr. Weather-
spoon did not see any point to it. Mrs. Horenburger stated that the
fact that they are addressing a communication system which is for use by
both their Police and Fire Departments gives it an overall public safety
image. Mr. Jackel felt it was a more up to date expression and sug-
gested modifying it to read "Public Safety Facility". Council con-
curred. The City Attorney pointed out that there is a typographical
error in Section 10 of the resolution; it should read "operations of the
Police Department" rather than "operations of the Police Chief".
Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 13-85
with the two amendments, designating the building as "Public Safety
Facility" and correcting the typographical error as outlined by the City
Attorney, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as

the Air Conditioning Contractor and Del Swilley as the General Contrac-
tor whose terms end January 8, 1987, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
The City Attorney reported that this ordinance has a twofold
purpose: (1) This ordinance adds a requirement similar to Ordinance No.
14-85 to another section of the Code. (2) As there is dispute over
which Standard Building Code is enforced in the County, whether it be
the 1979 or the 1981 or others, as a matter of caution, they decided to
add this requirement to another section of their Code so it will not
matter which Standard Building Code they are under.
Mr. Inness questioned the wording "certain duplexes". The
City Attorney explained that the ordinance makes no exclusions. Mr.
Inness commended the City Attorney for a fine piece of work.
Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 19-85 on
First Reading, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1
vote.

agreed to fund $25,000 for bike trails if the County would fund a like
